Torrent error: "The previous volume has not been mounted." What to do? The simplest methods of correction

Today, torrent trackers, although they contain a lot of pirated information, are very popular among a huge number of Internet users because of the high download speed of content. To download content, special programs are used. Let's see why a very common error can occur with the message "The previous volume is not mounted". What to do and how to act in this case? Everything, as it turns out, is simple and simple.

What does the "Do not mount the previous volume" error mean?

So, let's start with the programs themselves for downloading the contents of the torrent (a special file that is initially downloaded from the tracker). It does not matter which program is used for downloading. Its settings are important. By default, at first everything seems to be working just fine. But then at some point when you start the torrent file with a double click, the program suddenly displays a message stating that the previous volume has not been mounted. What to do?

To begin with, do not panic. The fact is that the interpretation of this message is very simple. Roughly speaking, the program settings, more precisely, the path to the destination folder, in which the downloaded information was saved, were changed.

What if Torrent writes: "The previous volume is not mounted"? The banal reason for the appearance

Most users to start the download, usually use the usual double click on the torrent file, and do not go in a roundabout way, first running the program, and then from it opening the necessary files.

Let's consider a simple example. Suppose that two users (the host of a computer or a laptop and his friend) have access to one terminal. Here came to you all of a sudden and asked to download a couple of movies from the tracker, but not to the hard drive, and immediately to the USB flash drive, then not to deal with unnecessary copying, which with a large amount of information can take up a lot of space. You let him in for your terminal (he can work with the program). What will it do first of all, so that the download is made directly to a removable USB-drive? Correctly! Change the destination download folder in the application settings.

At the end, he turns everything off, takes the flash drive and leaves. But the owner himself will not be able to change the settings. So it turns out that when he, being sure that everything should work as expected, will launch the torrent file for downloading next time, the program will start to "spit" about the fact that the previous volume has not been mounted. What to do in this situation, we now look. All the more it is worth saying that there is nothing supernatural here. The explanation is simple: there is no device or folder in which the download was last time.

What should I do if Torrent issues an error: "The previous volume is not mounted"?

What should I do in this situation? It's simple. Even with the boot loaded, there is a solution. It must be stopped completely, but not deleted.

After that go to the settings and just change the path to the folder that should be used on the hard drive. It goes without saying that you can restore the default settings. Only in this case the download will be made to another directory, if the user specified his own folder before. After that, you can resume the download. First the test will be performed, and then the download will be activated for the new settings. Naturally, you can also remove the download, and then start the torrent file again in the usual way.

The same goes for not only cases with removable media. If you delete a previously specified folder, the program will also issue a warning, say, the previous volume has not been mounted. What to do? Follow the instructions above and specify a different directory (location) by selecting the path with the Browse button.

To make the operation even faster, just click on the download and select the "Upload to ..." option. Then everything will go like clockwork. But after you finish, do not forget to change the parameters of the downloads, because the message may appear again.

The result

As can be seen from the above, the problem is not a catastrophe, and the entire error correction technique is reduced to selecting a location (directory) where the downloaded information will be stored. The only trouble is that when you change the settings, few people pay attention to it, and maybe just forget that they have been changed. Do not want to delve into the settings? Simply insert your USB flash drive into the USB port and resume the download.
